Common or even frequent in most provinces. It ascends from the 

 level of the sea far above the limit of the trees, there are, however, but 

 few high alpine stations. Nowhere more frequent than in the lowlands of 

 Northern Norway. 



On mossy rocks, rarely on sandy ground. Like man}' rock plants it 

 is common along the coast, the fjords, and on prominent rocks in subalpine 

 situations, less common or lacking in the inland lowlands. 



A plastic species. At exposed windy stations it forms dense cushions 

 (analogous to the var. coiigrsta of .S. glohosus), and on the mountains it 

 may become reduced to an almost 'subterraneous' existence below a dense 

 cover of mosses and caespitose phanerogamous plants. 



Apothecia are rare.
